06 Honda Civic squeaky brakes after oil change today, tech says ';it's normal, nothing he can do'; WTF!?

I have a 2006 Honda Civic which was purchased brand new and has around 26,000 miles. I took it to a honda service center (it's a certified center, the dealership that was previously there relocated but they kept the service center there because of mass amounts of hondas in my area). Anyways I got my oil changed as well as a recall on the brakes (doesn't apply to me, it's cold weather and i'm in florida). Anyways I leave, head to work and my brakes squeak the entire way there. This continues on for the entire day so i call back and he kindly says bring it back we took the tires off for the recall and there may be some dirt. I bring it back and they bring me back to show me. Says that this is a new type of brakes on newer cars since the government switched regulations. anyways he says there is rust which is normal since my wheel is exposed. says the rust is rubbing and making the squeal. goes on to say that this is normal and happens on foreign cars, including mercedes. offers no fix!!06 Honda Civic squeaky brakes after oil change today, tech says ';it's normal, nothing he can do'; WTF!?
Your car is not brand new, you have 26k on it, brakes are not covered under the warranty, brake pads anyways. Why dont you do what they suggest and pay to fix it, or is it you just want a free fix with that many miles?06 Honda Civic squeaky brakes after oil change today, tech says ';it's normal, nothing he can do'; WTF!?
do the brakes only squeal at slow speed like pulling out of your driveway or just as you are coming to a stop sign? if so, it is not unusual and can be coincidental. it is possible to treat for squeal, but is usually a temporary fix. new pads and rotors may even squeal under the right conditions.the technician is referring to the compound of the brake pads since asbestos was outlawed.
If it was brake dust, they could have just blown it off. Rotors cannot rust in the time it takes to change the oil. Somebody screwed up and they're trying to get out from under. Get it fixed by a real brake mechanic, and take them to small claims court. They hate that. Really hate that.
if you wanted to my uncle could fix that in a heart beat but you would have to come up to Denver Colorado to get it fixed properly
rust? what kind of quality car is that?


and if it's related to your brakes its probably not rust..your wheels shouldnt rust that fast..it's probably break powder.


it could be from you breaking over time and time and it just got really worn off over time. You will know for sure thats problem if you start to eventualy hear a grind. and that's really bad, because that means the situation is even worse.


it looks very simular to rust. you probably need a new caliper and everything..and that is really sucky considering its a new car.
Very strange to start squeaking after the oil change and that it never did it before. I would take it to the other Honda shop, they seem to know what they are doing.
take it to the other shop and see if the first one broke/ruined something. then threaten them with a lawsuit if they don't pay for it to get it fixed.
